10 Best Coffee Makers in the Philippines 2023 | DeLonghi, Breville, and More

Drip coffee makers are the most common type available and easiest to use as well. They can produce one pot of coffee at a time instead of just a cup. It works by heating water until it reaches boiling point, letting steam rise through a tube system, and reaching the drip area where it is dispersed.

Additionally, drip-type coffee makers take 3 to 10 minutes to get you your cup of coffee. That said, we recommend this type of coffee maker for those who live with their families, multiple roommates, and for those looking for something quick and easy to use.

Fully automatic coffee makers come with a mill which means you can get your morning coffee with a touch of a button. This is because the machine does everything for youーit grinds the coffee beans, froths the milk, and many more! 

Basically, you can customize your coffee from bean to cup. However, this high level of convenience and luxury comes a high price tag as well. However, this makes them a great investment for coffee lovers, as well as those who want more coffee options. 

Nowadays, capsule or pod-based coffee makers are one of the most popular types of coffee machines. This is because they're very easy to use and experiment with since you would just need to buy different pods to find your favorite kind of coffee.

It is a single-serve machine, which means it only makes enough coffee for one cup only. That is why we recommend this for those who live alone and for those who want a hassle-free way of trying different flavors of coffee.

The capacity of a coffee maker varies with each unit as some models only make one cup’s worth of serving at a time while others make a pot’s worth. The amount of coffee it can brew at any given time is usually indicated in the packaging as well as in the brewing instructions. 

This is important to consider because the amount of coffee your coffee maker brews would depend on your lifestyle and the number of people in your household. So, if you buy the wrong kind, you can end up with too little or too much. 

Ever come across the option for brew intensity in your coffee maker and wondered what it does? It allows you to control how long the water stays in contact with the coffee grounds. And depending on your preference, the coffee would result in a brew that’s mild or bold tasting. 

This is a great option, especially for households that have varying preferences in coffee. And sometimes, some coffee makers even allow you to choose the aroma’s intensity as well!

The coffee maker’s brewing time would vary on the amount as well as the kind of coffee it has to brew. On average, most coffee makers take about a minute to brew a single serving cup of coffee. 

For 4 cups, that would take about 4-5 minutes and about 15 minutes for a whole pot. Keep in mind this is for basic, drip coffee. So, if your coffee maker can create more complicated drinks like cappuccino, you’d need to add about a minute more to the total brewing time.  

In a rush? Look for ones with a programmable timer! This allows you to pre-set the coffee maker to brew in advance at a specific time. Most coffee makers can be programmed either for 12 or 24 hours in advance, making it a great option as you can simply program the machine the night before! 

If multiple people in your household drink coffee, then a coffee maker with these features is the way to go. They're can keep big batches of coffee warm and are more energy-efficient. However, if you live alone or aren't particular about heat level, coffee makers without heat retention capabilities may be sufficient for you.

We’re pretty sure there have been instances where you forgot to turn off a switch or left the lights onーwe’ve all been there. Now, if you’re worried about leaving your coffee maker on, then we recommend you get one with an auto shut-off feature. 

Having an auto-shut off feature means your coffee maker turns itself off after the brewing cycle has ended. It prevents burning your coffee, consuming more electricity, and ensures your safety and convenience. No more worries about forgetting to turn your coffee maker off!

Sanitation is a significant factor when using coffee makers. The device needs to be easy to clean, so disassembling and reassembling shouldn’t take a lot of effort. And the coffee maker’s water tanks play a part in this. There are two types; fixed and detachable ones. 

That said, coffee makers with detachable water tanks are easier to clean -and easier to use- since you can easily take them apart. However, some coffee makers have automatic cleaning features, so coffee makers with fixed water tanks can still work out for you, so it pays to read the label.
